Default Anyone ever...

So has anyone else besides me ever thought they wanted to sell their LS1 after not driving it for awhile, then get in and start it up to let it run (since its put up during the winter), then get the itch, take it around the private driveway at a high rate of speed, grin from ear to ear, and then wonder how on earth you ever wanted to sell it in the first place? sorry for the book, thats just my story for the day.

LOL, actually too many problems steming from internal mods are the main reason why I did sell my last LS1. But I've figured out how to do better next time.
